Reports
Q: I called the number 011-555-555-1212, but not all of the digits appear
on my transmit confirmation report (TCR). Why didn't the whole
number appear? How can I be sure my document went to the right
location?
A: The numbers you enter using the fax keypad are temporarily stored
in a memory "buffer;" and it's only the last part of the phone number
that the buffer "remembers." An easy way to avoid getting incomplete
telephone numbers on your printouts is to store your most frequently
used numbers as one-touch keys or speed-dial numbers. These
autodialer numbers will appear in their entirety on your TCR.
Receiving faxes
Q: My fax never answers. What's wrong?
A: Check to make sure your fax machine is properly connected to a
working AC power outlet and phone jack (see page 39). If you're using
a second phone with your machine, make sure it's connected properly
(see page 33) and your machine is set to work with it.
Q: Sometimes when I answer my machine with the optional handset, I
hear a beeping sound that repeats every few seconds. Is this a fax?
A: Yes. When you hear such tones, someone is trying to send you a fax.
Next time, press START and hang up the handset. Your fax will now
receive the message.
Q: Does my fax machine have to be plugged in (i.e., into the AC power)
just to receive a message?
A: Yes. Your phone will ring if the phone line is connected, but you can't
receive a fax unless your fax machine is plugged into both the phone
jack and the AC power jack. Make sure your fax machine is always
plugged in so you never miss an important fax message.
Q: Can I receive a fax if I'm using the phone on my machine?
A: You can receive a fax from the person to whom you're talking. When
that person has a document ready in his/her machine's feeder, press
START.
Polling
Q: What's the purpose of polling?
A: Polling lets you automatically "pull" a document from another fax
machine's document feeder. You can poll whenever you need to
retrieve information and don't want the source to pay for the phone
call. With polling, you pay for the call and get the information you
need.
